The Clean Bin Project is an award-winning, locally produced film about zero waste. Avoid the malls and consumeristic mayhem and join the filmmakers at this special community screening
Tickets at door $10. Q and A to follow.
Synopsis: Is it possible to live completely waste free? Partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least landfill garbage in an entire year. Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the problem waste in North America as the duo struggles to find meaning in their minuscule influence on the environmental impacts of our “throw-away society”. Featuring interviews with renowned artist, Chris Jordan and marine pollution expert, Captain Charles Moore, The Clean Bin Project presents the serious topic of waste reduction with optimism, humour, and inspiration for individual action.
